Birr Heritage Town
Turning back the clock to the elegance of the Georgian era, Birr has stayed true to its 18th and 19th century character, with tree-lined malls and avenues and wonderful Georgian Architecture. The narrow main street retains its beautiful shop fronts. There are two churches and a Wesley Chapel built in the gothic style. Birr Civic Offices
and Birr Library are now sited in the restored Gothic Revival building. The chapel has been superbly restored as a magnificent library and houses local treasures including a facsimile of the Macregol Gospels scripted and illuminated in Birr about 800 AD. Birr is a modern, bustling, thriving town with an excellent selection of ladies fashion boutiques,
shops and café's.In 2009, Birr will host the Birr Ballooning Festival -Celebrating 10 years of the Irish one man meet.
